Well, I have a dilemma.
I am getting ready to move to a retirement home. One bedroom apartment, which means 1/3 of the space I have had for the past 25 years.
I have 88 built models in the house. So what to do with them ? My family is not interested in them, the closest is 450 miles, and most of them do not even know they are here. I probably could sell them to the other Fred, or Dean's Hobby Stop or someone like that. But probably would not get much for them, risk breakage in the mail, and have to pack them all up, and pay that shipping. I hate to just throw them in the trash.
So, would there be any interest in this ?
If you guys remember any of them pre PB fiasco, or have been able to reclaim any of the pictures that were on Fred's, or have other ways to view them, I was thinking I would ship any of them to you, if you would just return the shipping charge, plus maybe $1 for me to get some more boxes.
I have no way to show them, and do not want to make a list. And even then, you'd want to actually see them.
I am trying to cut the number down to maybe 10 or 12 to take with me, which is not easy, and I am not really sure where to put them when I get there. Also, this is not a trade, so I don't want any built models or kits coming my way. I have 9 kits and 1 parts box collection going with me, and that will be enough to keep me busy. Plus I am planning maybe to do a little pen and ink, or colored pencil drawing. Probably some reading, and of course, there will be bingo, the big ice cream social, and exercise classes, not to mention day trips on the bus.
So ........... maybe this is a wild and crazy idea. What do you all think ? Any interest ?
